Eve glances at all the gifts, shoulders sagging. “You were right.” She breathes softly.
“About?” Owen asks, lifting his glass to his lips so no one can tell what they are saying.
“The gift registry.” She smirks slightly. “I don’t know what I’m going to do with 3 coffee makers, 2 quesadilla makers and 5 knife sets.”
“Coffee for your whole office, quesadilla’s on Tuesdays, and knives to throw when I piss you off?” He smirks back at her.
“Seriously?” She groans, smacking his arm. “I meant do these people really think I’ll be cooking much now? Like you will let me down in the kitchen whenever I want?”
“I do now.” He slightly pouts at her.
“Only under protest and cause it amuses you to watch me try to find everything.” She rolls her eyes. “Maybe I should request a kitchen be put in next to our rooms.”
“Maybe you should start looking for a live in nanny so you don’t pass out from lack of sleep.” Justin walks up behind her, giving her shoulder a gentle squeeze. “The band just asked if you were ready.”
Owen’s smile turns mischievous. “Of course we are.” He stands, taking Eve’s hand and pulling her with him. “Ready to dance, My Dear?”
She chuckles softly as he leads her to the ballroom, where a small stage is set up. “Well that explains the dress choice.”
He kisses her cheek softly, waiting for her to see the whole stage. “You’ll see.” He turns her enough to take her into his arms just as the music starts.
Her eyes widen and she nearly stumbles as he turns her into a slow spin. She finally sees the band, Marianas Trench, singing ‘Beside You’ on stage. He leans close as they dance slowly, singing the words softly in her ear. She grins, amazed at the chance he took on the choice of music. When the song ends, he winks at her and calls out “Shall we get this party started?”
Josh Ramsey grins down at him, nodding. “Absolutely!” He turns to the band and they begin ‘Stutter’.
Eve squeals in laughter as Owen twirls her into a Charleston. The guests circle them, clapping and laughing as he leads her into a jive. Eve laughs, nearly breathless as he goes all out for her. She opens their bond wide, letting the feel of him roll through her and tell her how he is going to move next. When they finally stop at the end of the song, she nearly stumbles into him. He chuckles, tucking a piece of her hair behind her ear as he gently slides a mini microphone on her ear.
“And why am I going to need this?” She smirks, lifting a brow.
“You’ll see.” He winks at her as the music begins again. He sings with Josh, letting her know he knows her favorite song, ‘Good to you’.
Getting the hint, she lets him take her into a slow dance. Her voice joins his, never realizing Josh slowly quieting until they are the only ones singing. Owen never takes his eyes from her, letting the song flow through them. When the last note finally dies, Eve looks away from him and realizes everyone is grinning. Cheers go up as Josh claps, smiling down at them.
Owen leans in, kissing her softly. “Told you I had it covered.”
“Brat.” She mutters, laughing softly as she takes the microphone off. She looks up and grins at Josh. “I have a request!”
He winks at her. “Anything for the bride.”
“All to Myself”
Nods, glancing at his band. “Perfect choice!”
She glances over the crowd as the music begins. “I’m not dancing by myself! This is for everyone!”
Owen leans into her as she turns back to him, whispering softly. “Happy?”
“Extremely.” She slips the microphone back on as the song dies and ‘Ever After’ begins. “Sing with me.”
“My pleasure.” He smiles as they join their voices to the rising chorus of the crowd around them.
Eve watches as the circle grow, the power slowly pulling at her. She grinds her teeth, frustrated at the need to join them but afraid of becoming lost in it. Justin breaks her line of sight, placing a bottle of water in front of her.“I hate plain water from a bottle.” She grumbles.
“Just like Owen, you know I’m going to be watching you and making sure you eat healthy now.” He lifts a brow at her. “Now drink it.”
“Pain in my ass.” She growls back, eyes drifting over the crowd she can see.
“Bitch.” A smile tugs at his lips, growling menacingly back.
“Children.” Owen walks up behind Eve and rubs at her arms. “Enough of that or everyone will think he’s lost your favor.” He notices her watching them again. “You feel it, don’t you?”
“Yes.” She sighs. “How can you stand it? Feeling it pull you, knowing you should be there but you can’t?”
“It hurts.” He leans against her. “But what I have now is better.” He eyes the crowd, noting who is dancing inside the circle. “But in truth, this is for you.”
“Wait? What?” Justin turns, staring at the writhing bodies. “Looks more like a trap to me.”
“It is.” Owen rubs at her arms again. “They are challenging you to join. They want to see if you can wrest the magic from them.”
She blinks, seeing the magic spinning around and through each dancer. “But it’s only doing what they want it to because it chooses it. This magic is untamed. I can see it. How could I take it from them?”
“You can’t.” Owen smirks. “That’s the point. You have to woo it to you like a lover.” He kisses her neck. “I know you can do that.”
“You want me out there to prove a point, don’t you?” She narrows her eyes, feeling his intentions through their bond.
“Only if you want it.” He shows her how to caress the magic just right through their bond. “It would be nice to take them down a few notches.”
“I’m game, but if this doesn’t work you better send the cavalry.” She slides off the stool and head towards the circle.
“The two of you are crazy.” Justin tries to turn away, but Owen stops him.
“Watch and learn.” Owen grins, mischievously. “You’ll need this if you are to stay with Nalyah.”
Eve stops just at the edge of the circle, closing her eyes as her hand touches the magic. The music begins to slow, changing to her will. She steps into the circle, moving effortlessly to the song ‘Sail’.The Fae stop, unsure of who to react to the change. They glance around, noticing only Eve dancing. Grinning, Coyote walks over to her and bows low. Eve doesn’t stop, only nods to him and hold out her hand. With a lifted brow, he takes it and is swept up into the magic. They waltz off effortlessly across the floor, Coyote’s grin widening as he feels her latch onto those in their path.
Soon the whole circle is dancing as the song changes to ‘Radioactive’. Coyote leans down, whispering. “How long can you hold them, Little Queen?”
“Long enough.” She sees Owen whispering to Alexander. “I only have to prove I can.”
Coyote throws his head back, laughing loudly as the song ends. He bows low to her again, smile never faltering. “My Queen, thank you for the dance.”
She curtsies and turns, beckoning to Alexander. He grins, running to snatch up her hand. “Ready for your turn?”
“Let’s do this!” His grin turns wicked as he scoops her up and holds her close as the music changes to ‘Buttons’. “He told me to give them a show.”
Eve laughs, gyrating against him as if they were the only ones on the floor. She feels Owen’s amusement as Alexander treats that dance as if they were at a rave. Alexander’s will grabs the magic, pulsing it with the beat of the music. Eve steadies him with her own, giving a soothing counterpoint to keep it from rolling away from him.
Coyote laughs from the crowd, adding his own caress to the feel of the magic. One by one the Fae join in, unsure of how to blend with the new magic. When Alexander sees Owen’s had enough of him manhandling Eve, he steps away and changes the music again.
Eve groans when she hears ‘Gangnam Style’. “Really?” She rolls his eyes at his laugh.
“Yes, really!” He begins dancing with a wicked grin.
She shakes her head, joining him amid all the shocked looks from the surrounding Fae. Even Coyote stares for a moment, unsure of how to join this time. Finall she feels first one, then another join with the magic again. She opens her eyes, seeing only those loyal to her joining in as the others watch. The magic swells around them, luring the rest in. Owen nods to her, a smirk lightly his lips. As soon as the song ends, she lets go of the magic and curtsies to Alexander.
“Thank you for the dance, Young Lord.” She winks, breath slightly uneven. “But I think my husband has had enough of you having your way with me. I should return to him.”
“I would never presume on uncle’s territory.” He bows low to her. “Especially now that you carry my cousins. He’d skin me alive.”
She laughs, leaning over to kiss his cheek. “He would not but you’d be unable to sit for a week.” She steps out of the circle. “Good night, Xander.”
“Night, Aunt Eve.” He crows as he sweeps up a young Fae woman near him and dances away.
She can see the amusement dancing in Owen’s eyes as she curls her arm around his. “Satisfied?”
“Very.” He kisses her forehead. “Although I thought for a moment I would have to remind a certain young man where his hands belong.”
“He only did it to get a rise out of you.” She leans into him. “Besides, it was your plan. You can’t blame him if he ran with it.”
“True.” He sighs, seeing her yawn. “I think it is past time to leave.”
“I think we have a wedding night to christen.” She steps away, pulling him with her to the door.
“Yes.” He grins, following her. “We do indeed.”

Thanks for everybody's patience with me right now. This must be the year of nothing going right! Anyway, music is by Pussycat Dolls, AWOL Nation, Imagine Dragons, and Psyh (spelling?). Marianas Trench is a group my daughter listens to and I found I liked a few of their songs. I may add more of it later on. Hope you like it! And as always, please review!!
